Edinburgh Labour's vision for the Capital

One City: Our City; a European City to be proud of ...

On Thursday 4th May, the residents of Edinburgh will elect City Councillors for the next five-year period. Our vision for Edinburgh is set out in our local government manifesto "One City, Our City: A European City to be proud of", available to download below.

Back in November 2016 we published a ‘draft manifesto’ in preparation for the next Local Government Elections in May 2017. This document represented our initial ideas, but we sought your input andused this feedback to adjust this draft document before launching our final Manifesto on 21 March 2017.

This manifesto is the result of a consultation process which has seen submissions from citizens, community groups, business, trade unions and events such as the Side by Side Conference in North Edinburgh.

We received over 1,000 submissions and re-drafted our final Manifesto as a direct result of that feedback.

Thank you for contributions and hopefully you will see that this has substantially revised the draft document which sought views last year.

"I am in love with this world" - John Burroughs

"I am in love with this world ... it has been my home. It has been my point of outlook into the universe. I have not bruised myself against it, nor tried to use it ignobly.

I have tilled its soil, I have gathered its harvests, I have waited upon its seasons, and always have I reaped what I have sown. While I delved, I did not lose sight of the sky overhead.

I have climbed its mountains, roamed its forests, sailed its waters, crossed its deserts, felt the sting of its frosts, the oppression of its heats, the drench of its rains, the fury of its winds, and always have beauty and joy waited upon my goings and comings."

"The value of kindness"

"Of the sweets of adversity, and let me say that these are not numerous, I have found the sweetest, the most precious of all, is the lesson I learnt on the value of kindness. Every kindness I received, small or big, convinced me that there could never be enough of it in our world. To be kind is to respond with sensitivity and human warmth to the hopes and needs of others. Even the briefest touch of kindness can lighten a heavy heart. Kindness can change the lives of people."
